Why on earth do people think its okay to ask a young woman or young couple about their baby making plans. I have been trying to concieve for a year now and me and my husband are getting worn down and less and less hopeful, and we are only to be met with questions from friends and relatives about when are we going to have kids, how many kids, etc etc. There is a small possibility i might have endometriosis and having a family is literally the most important thing to me, and i have dreamed about it for ever. I never thought it would take this long, or that i would have issues limiting my ability to conceive. I'm terrified and theni'm constantly being asked if i have kids, when will i have kids. The other day, the day i started my period i was waiting in line at a store and while waiting i was rocking/swaying back in forth, this woman out of nowhere asked if i had just had a baby, ( this was day one of my period). I was crushed already to have gotten my period and then to be asked what may seem innocent but made me want to cry. She thought i had a baby because maybe I had developed a habit of rocking back in forth, from rocking my baby. Worst feeling ever. And ever other day theres another pregnancy announcement on my facebook, its quite literally killing me, I am on cd 7 and I said i wasn't going to stress of "try" this month to ease some stress and pressure but its like the world is mocking me.I know thats rediculous but eveyrwhere i turn theres a reminder that I haven't had a child yet. Its even affected my husband, hes not open about it but in a weak moment and discussion about it yesterday we both got emotional and he even told me that he made an appointment to get check out just in case. He is convinced he will be the problem but i'm pretty sure it will be me with endometrisos. Both of us are just so worn out.

I went through something similar immediately after I had a miscarriage. It was my first pregnancy and it ended. I totally get where you are coming from. We had lots of family pressure because we were the last couple out of my hubby's family to start TTC. The best you can do is just take it one day at a time. And make sure to take care of yourself! Try to do something special for yourself each day. Its like a fun challenge (and helps pass the time while TTC!). Hopefully you are able to get some answers.

My husband and I have been together for 5 years, and people have stopped asking. I always say things to make jokes like "oh, we're just going to get 4 more dogs. Another kid is too much." Or "We've decided to devote our lives to the Hare Krishnas and sell everything" and time people start pressing. I get a lot of laughs about it, but in truth I've been intensely private about our struggles. I'm 34 now, and DH is 41, so I think people think we're not going to, and I can't bear the idea of anyone having the gall to ask me anymore.

Chin up! Focus on the good things you've got going on right now. View this process more abstractly, which might help with the anxiety, and stress. I've started to view it that way, and it's helped me compartmentalize it so I'm not so worked up about it.

Indigo birds, I hear you!my dad stopped asking. I checked MIL so I seldom get it from family now. Just random not so close acquaintances who feel the need to yap about our lack of 'progress'. I tell people who am I to demand a blessing from God? Who am I think I'm deserving when it's only by grace and His own timing?DH are enjoying these first 5 years together deeply connecting and it would prolly be different if we had gotten preggo right away. Keep your head up. Praying for you.

I'm sorry you are going through this. We had to go through it and took over 2 years to get to this point after 2 miscarriages and worst still everyone asking when we were having children. Did it occur to anyone that we were trying but failing! My SIL And her husband got married and had a child before us so that made it worse. In the end with the help of IVF we managed to get where we are now. We are not out of the woods yet but in a better position than we were a year ago.

We did all the tests and no one could tell us why we failed to get pregnant successfully.

We know what you cannot believe that it will ever happen but it will. You will become a mother and all this will be a distant memory.
